It’s that time of year, back to school.

Buses will be picking up students at stops all over the Northwestern Lehigh area.

Be on the lookout for the little ones hopping on and off the bus.

Give yourself some extra time if you’re traveling through Lynn Township.

You are bound to get caught behind one of those big yellow buses.

Do not try to pass when the STOP arm is extended.
